Abstract:

Studies on Organizational Role stress and Burnout of employees have been conducted in various occupational sectors. Although several studies have been reported in field of medical, banking, corporate and health services, the most emergent field i.e. teaching sector especially in India is still neglected. It is observed that female teachers working in the private sectors are with more work burden compare to their male counterparts. In this context the present study was planned to find out organizational role stress and burnout among the government and private school teachers in Delhi city, India. The study was conducted with a sample of 100 teachers (n1=50 Govt. school teachers and n2=Private school teachers). Along with the descriptive profile of the participants, the researcher used Organizational Role Stress Scale (Sen, 1981) and Maslach Burnout Inventory (Maslach, Jackson & Leiter, 1996). From the result it is found that there is a significant difference of organizational role Stress and Burnout between the Government and Private School teachers (p=0.01).Also, the private male teachers are more stressed compared to the government male teacher and their female counterparts (p=0.01).
